With the lineup we have we could be competitive with a couple of good starting pitchers. Brady Singer turns 24 in August, Kowar turns 24 in Oct, Lynch turns 24 in November, and Bubic turns 23 in August. Im not 100% sure on this, but those 4 guys are better prospects than Brad Keller ever was and Keller is only a little older than those guys (25 in 6 days) and he is going into his 3rd ML season. So it's not like these guys are outrageously young.
This is a year that we could throw those guys out there and see how they do. It's not like our pitching is stacked. Our SPs are mostly 4's or 5's and our bullpen is pretty much a dumpster fire. So instead of them losing a full season of baseball that is s going to be very detrimental to their development let's just let them start or see how they do in the bullpen.
**** service time. I feel like it holds us back and only extends the amount of time it takes to become competitive. Sure I get giving a HS kid a few years in the minors, but there is no reason why a college Jr or Sr needs more than a couple years in the minors before he gets a shot.
